Giorgia Meloni’s Eye-Roll at Macron Steals Spotlight at G7 Summit
As the 51st G7 Summit commenced in Alberta, Canada, a brief yet striking moment between Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and French President Emmanuel Macron has stolen the global spotlight — and not because of policy discussions or economic breakthroughs, but because of an eye-roll that has gone viral across social media.
While leaders from the world’s most influential economies gathered to address serious topics like trade, security, and technology, a candid exchange between Meloni and Macron managed to capture the public’s attention. Seated next to each other at the roundtable — despite their known diplomatic tensions — the two were seen engaging in a private conversation during the session.

In a video now widely circulated online, Macron leans toward Meloni and whispers something while shielding his mouth. She responds politely with a thumbs-up. But it’s what follows that made headlines. As Macron leans in again with another quiet remark, Meloni visibly reacts by rolling her eyes, a gesture that instantly resonated with viewers around the world.
What exactly was said remains a mystery. Neither Meloni nor Macron has offered any comment on the interaction, but the body language was enough to spark a social media frenzy. Thousands of users have reposted and analyzed the clip, with captions ranging from humorous takes to politically charged commentary. One user joked, “Whatever Macron said had Meloni looking like, ‘What the hell is this guy on?’” Another added, “The G7 is off to such a good start. Meloni is awesome—she can’t hide her disdain for the globalist elite.”
Though some reactions leaned into satire, others read deeper meaning into the interaction, framing it as symbolic of broader ideological divides among the G7 leaders. The moment was particularly striking in the context of Macron's attempt to discuss pressing geopolitical matters during a tense summit already overshadowed by U.S. President Donald Trump’s abrupt early departure due to escalating conflict in the Middle East.
Meloni’s eye-roll has now become a cultural meme, turning a subtle diplomatic moment into a viral sensation. And while it’s unclear whether her reaction was dismissive, sarcastic, or simply weary, one thing is certain: in the age of cameras and viral clips, even a split-second expression can echo louder than a prepared speech.
At a summit meant to showcase unity and coordination among the world’s top democracies, it was an unscripted moment of human expression — not policy — that captured everyone’s attention.
